I don't want blackberries, I don't want to be forced to remove them. I don't want to then eat blackberry jam to be reminded of the fact. I'd be quite happy if blackberries never existed right now.

I understand it now. Hope the removal goes relatively smoothly then.

Thanks, but it won't. I have to cut them all back, and there is quite a bit. Then I have to dig out as many roots as I can find. Then I have to keep an eye on the areas to see if any grow back and dig them out as soon as I see them. This could take years (or it could be as long as I live here, who knows). You can't even poison them, 99% of them die off, but they can grow back after that. Plus handling poison isn't fun.

If you keep mowing or cutting the area they should eventually die off I think.

Basically what we did on the one hillside we cleared, although they aren't quite as invasive here.

Now all this thinking about blackberries has made me hungry for pie. :laugh:

Made a new rocket, filmed it taking off and then accidentally deleted the film.  :facepalm2:

Yeah I heard about the mowing over it regularly thing but I really want to get surgical on it's ass to get rid of them as quick as possible. Plus there's the fact that it's currently too big to mow over and also my mower is a pussy.

They sound like the botanical equivalent of warts! :thumbdn:

Why can't you use Round-up on them?

They still come back after that, and I still have to remove the dead parts. It'll be easier when they are soft and alive rather than hard and dead. They go like wood when they are dead.
